Title: Rotating Shapes with Text

Solvers :),

Issue
I have actually been running into the effect that when rotating a shape my text sometimes rotates and sometimes does not.
As an example:
- My text is horizontally to the right of a shape.
- I turn my shape eg -90 degrees
- The text is then above my shape.
Sometimes horizontal, sometimes vertical.

Question
How do I make sure my text moves but doesn't rotate?

You need to edit the shape in the Shapesheet editor, add a Text Transform section (if it's not there already) and set cell
TxtAngle = -ANG360(Angle)

Found the solution! i have to use: IF(BITXOR(FlipX,FlipY),1,-1)*Angle :)
